Arturo Herrera

Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea CGAC, Santiago de Compostela

The show includes photographs, collages, painted wood sculptures, cut felt pieces and large wall paintings. The artist often uses a fragmented language ranging from animated films to art history to decontextualize inherent narratives without eradicating the coded referentiality of the image. The resulting works are hybrids that exist between the explicit and the implicit, appealing to transgressive impulses of the unconscious.


comunicato stampa

Solo show

The Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea is proud to present Arturo Herrera's first European survey exhibition. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and now living in Berlin, Arturo Herrera interweaves elements from Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and the visual language of popular culture in order to construct works that are full of associative meanings and lingering references.

Arturo Herrera's multilayered body of work includes photographs, collages, painted wood sculptures, cut felt pieces and large wall paintings. The artist often uses a fragmented language ranging from animated films to art history to decontextualize inherent narratives without eradicating the coded referentiality of the image.

The resulting works are hybrids that exist between the explicit and the implicit, appealing to transgressive impulses of the unconscious. Herrera's works contradict expected readings to create a liminal space between disorder and order, where aesthetics and ambiguity rule and resonate.

For this exhibition Arturo Herrera will create two new wall paintings especially designed for the spaces of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

Arturo Herrera was born in 1959 in Caracas, Venezuela. Solo and project-based exhibitions of his work have been held at Brent Sikkema Gallery in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the ICA Philadelphia, the Whitney Museum of America Art, the UCLA Hammer Museum, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, and the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago, as well as on the website of the Dia Art Foundation. He is the recipient of fellowships from YADDO, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Artpace, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation, and DAAD in Berlin. He lives and works in Berlin and New York.enebre, Sweden.
